Josh either helping stoke the fire, or getting ready to kill someone… Either way, he’s having a good time.

Hot Summer Night – Photographs

On a hot summer night this Sunday, I visited beautiful Grant Park for the first time in years. Photos are from Grant Park’s Seven Bridges, hidden beach, golf course, and more. Don’t leave summer!

Scared all the Sunday golfers away for a moment…

Crossing… Lake Michigan in the background with a stream running into the park in the foreground.
